Manticore Games has unveiled a new title called Out of Time, which is coming exclusively to Epic Games Store on September 25th this year.
A mixture of multiplayer and roguelike, the team says it’s “an action roguelike where past, present, and future have shattered, leaving the world in a tangled, yet beautifully chaotic, mess”, adding that: “The good news: You and your friends will have an endless supply of gear and weapon combinations to choose from to build your own unique group of survivors.”
“With Out of Time, we wanted to create a wholly unique and original experience that combines my favourite gameplay mechanics: the best aspects of roguelike, real time multiplayer, and MMO raids”, says Jordan Maynard, Chief Creative Officer, “The result is an explosive cocktail of epic combat, infinite replayability, and deep social features, set in the unique context of a universe where time itself has shattered, and past, present, and future collide!”
“Manticore’s mission is to create complex immersive multiplayer experiences. We’ve built Out of Time as a massively expandable dynamic universe using the Core UGC platform and Unreal,” adds Frederic Descamps, CEO. “We’re already planning more eras and PvP modes, plus additional platforms.”
As you can see from the trailer and the screenshot (below), the game looks like it’s going to have a huge amount of gear and goodies to collect.
In Out of Time, the catalyst to the chaos came from an event known as The Shattering, fusing the past, present, and future together into an unpredictable, ever-changing dynamic battleground. Survivors from all eras gather in Infinitopia, the last bastion of civilization, venturing into dangerous, corrupted regions in fast-paced solo or co-op missions in a fight to reclaim reality.
Before you give up, don’t fear! The Shattering can taketh, but also giveth! Armed with gear and weaponry from the medieval times to futuristic cyberpunk utopias to prehistoric antediluvian times to post-apocalyptic wastelands and beyond, players will have over 190 million gear combinations to choose from, allowing them to truly create their own custom loadouts for each run. Classes? Where we’re going we don’t need classes. Every player chooses the gear set that best suits the play style they want to embark on every run. If you want to stack a rocket launcher on top of healing powers and tank armor – you do you.
Out of Time is coming to PC via Epic Games Store on September 25th, and will cost $24.99
